    Rig Mileage

    Yeah, definitely was a tight one. Of course there are no rocks in the pic but I call that one Between a rock and a hard place.

    GPS unit Reviews

    I have been running Galileo on my iPad for a couple of years now. I have a data plan on the iPad but you can preload your maps to work either online or off. Great for importing importing and recording routes. Been very happy with it. Have a RAM mount on the dash which attachments for either my...

    What are you using for a fridge/freezer.

    I researched for some time before I settled on the Dometic CF50. Have had a few Dometic 3 way fridges in campers that worked great so I knew they were reliable. I also found that either the Dometic is made by Waeco or the other way around and Waeco's are very popular in Australia. I also came...

    Trans-America Trail

    There was a father and son from near me who did it last summer in a Jeep pulling a enclosed trailer. The guy that started the route was a dual sport rider so news of it spread in those groups. I think that's why it's called or described as a dual sport trail or route. It is on my bucket list to...

    Thanks, I love that shot. If I didn't know any better I would think it was down in south America or somewhere like that. We try to find a ferry along our overland routes when possible.

    Rig Mileage

    Original owner with 56K on my '09 H3 Alpha. I would say at least 90% of the miles I have put on it in the past 18 months or so have been overlanding.

    storage and kitchen setup

    The ones I bought were also 9w as I recall but also never tested them but they sure got hot. Still have them and will probably end up using them for something. You do get great light coverage with your setup. This is the light coverage I get with the LED strip for the cargo area, leave my stock...

    storage and kitchen setup

    Nice setup. How are those lights working for you? I didn't check the wattage of the ones you bought but I was going to do something similar (lighting wise) in my setup but the ones I bought off Amazon got real hot. I went with a strip of LEDs which has been working well so far.

    Fridge Drop Slide Input

    I have been looking at fridge drop slides for my rig but what is available are pretty expensive and most of those would also have to ship from Australia so that adds to the cost. Have thought about trying to build my own but have limited fab tools and or experience. Anybody here have a drop...

    East Coast - Mid Atlantic?

    How about FL or maybe a SE region that can be expended to specific states as more people in the area post.

    What compressor do you run in your rig?

    I used to run a pump but for the past 5 years or so have been using a 10 lbs Power Tank. It's not the unlimited source that a pump is and I have to pay to get it refilled but it is so fast for airing back up and you get a lot of air out of that size tank. I'll have to weigh the tank to double...

    What do you air down to?

    Of course as others have said it really depends on the terrain I will be traveling. I will frequently go down to about 8PSI but am running dual bead locks with 35" BFG KM2s.
